4 STATISTICS IN PRACTICE Advisory Editor Stephen Senn University of Glasgow, UK Founding Editor Vic Barnett Nottingham Trent University, UK Statistics in Practice is an important international series of texts which provide detailed coverage of statistical concepts, methods and worked case studies in specific fields of investigation and study. With sound motivation and many worked practical examples, the books show in downto-earth terms how to select and use an appropriate range of statistical techniques in a particular practical field within each title s special topic area. The books provide statistical support for professionals and research workers across a range of employment fields and research environments. Subject areas covered include medicine and pharmaceutics; industry, finance and commerce; public services; the earth and environmental sciences, and so on. The books also provide support to students studying statistical courses applied to the above areas. The demand for graduates to be equipped for the work environment has led to such courses becoming increasingly prevalent at universities and colleges. It is our aim to present judiciously chosen and well-written workbooks to meet everyday practical needs. Feedback of views from readers will be most valuable to monitor the success of this aim. A complete list of titles in this series appears at the end of the volume.

13 Preface In the early 1990 s, one of the authors attended a forensic conference in Arizona, USA and became familiar with DNA profiling. In the meeting, there were heated debates among forensic scientists, statisticians and legal professionals on the pros and cons of the then new forensic DNA technology. These debates began to settle down after the US National Research Council released its second report on the evaluation of forensic DNA evidence in Currently, the technique is widely employed and accepted in the courtroom due to its high discriminating power and reliability. It is a very powerful tool, not only in the investigation of serious criminal offences including rapes and homicides, but also in voluminous offences such as thefts and burglaries. Statistics and probability play an important role in the interpretation of forensic DNA. Unlike other areas of forensic science, probability is often needed in assessing the weight of DNA evidence; probabilities in the magnitude of one in millions or one in billions are commonly heard in court cases. A major aim of this book is to introduce the fundamental statistical and probability theory and methods for the evaluation of DNA evidence. The book covers three main applications of DNA profiling, namely identity testing, determination of parentage and kinship, and interpretation of mixed DNA stains. Moreover, we place emphasis on the computational aspects of statistical DNA forensics. Computer programs are available at for possible use. Readers can use the software to check the numerical findings of the examples given in the book. This can help readers understand and appreciate the theory and methods behind statistical forensic DNA analysis. We are most grateful to the following people for their continuous support and assistance: Dart Man Wong and Pui Tsui for introducing the fundamental concepts and sharing their knowledge and experience in DNA forensics; Sze Chung Leung and his forensic laboratory colleagues for encouragement and support; Yuk Ka Chung, Hong Lee and Yan Tsun Choy for computing assistance; John Buckleton for introducing the mixed stain problem; and specifically to Ada Lai for excellent secretarial support and typing the manuscript. We thank the staff at John Wiley for their editorial assistance. Last but not least, we wish to express our gratitude to our families, Yuet Siu, Ka Chung, Ka Wing, and Tian Shuang, Jia Wen, for their patience and immense support. W.K. Fung and Y.Q. Hu Hong Kong
